GS 2004 Article 36 – Opening Devotions

The chairman reopened Synod by reading Phil. 2:12-30 and giving a meditation on this passage.  We sang Psalm 86:1,3,4 after which the chairman led us in prayer.  The roll was called and it was noted that Rev. J. Van Vliet was absent since he had to lead a funeral gathering.

Welcome to br. G.B. Veenendaal

Next the chairman welcomed br. G.B. Veenendaal, the fraternal delegate of the Free Reformed Churches of Australia.  Synod was adjourned for committee work.
